Having a lovely time in Australia!

We are having a lovely holiday!

Check out our first apartment. What a great view we have from our balcony. We are not scared of being high up at all!

(Please excuse the spot on Rebekah's cheek - she's been bashing herself again, and currently sports even more scrapes! It's dangerous work on holiday! ;) )






Our first full day here, we went to tropical fruit world. We had a ride around the orchard,



And opened macadamia nuts to eat.



We played on the playground and then took a ride on a little train (do you see a train theme in this blog??). Toot toot!






We also rode on a boat at tropical fruit world, and fed the ducks. We saw lots of other animals too though we were too busy feeding them to get photos! We did try lots of different fruit though. You will note that Dad spent a wee bit of time near the chips and guacamole dip, he thought they were even better than the fruit! ;)





The very next day, we visited Dreamworld. What a great day we had there!
We got up close with farm animals, and Rebekah got friendly with a SNAKE! We drove some cars - but who is this strange driver who likes to stand as she steers??? (I can tell you that whoever she is, she made a grumpy passenger, and was not keen to sit in the back seat as she'd already decided she would make a much better chauffeur!)






Rebekah took a plane ride with dad, while Amy went for a Blue's Clues spin with mum. And then who should we spot, but our favourite character, Dora! Boy were we thrilled! We plastered Dora with hugs and kisses!





Rest assured - we don't have photos, but we rode a train at Dreamworld too, ha ha!

Well, we are only halfway through our trip, with lots more fun to come - so watch this space :D
